Scales

My sax teacher is working really hard to help me memorize all different scales in all the necessary keys... Since I'm too lazy to write out tons of scales, i was wondering if anyone knows any websites where I could print them out... (harmonic min., natural min., melodic min., wholetone, blues, bop, etc.) I'm doing some of them by ear...but in keys like B major, it just gets so frusterating for me.. I'm also working on turn-arounds (I think?), with the ii V VI progression or something like that. Anyone know where I could find those in different keys? Sorry if you have no idea what I'm talking about.... Thanks! Kara
